Create a new cost code

To tag resources such as VM templates and hardware profiles for pricing, use cost codes.  When users in enterprises with a pricing model deploy a VM using a resource with a cost code, the pricing estimate will include the cost assigned to the cost code.

To create a cost code for resource pricing

1. Go to Pricing → Cost codes

2. Click the + add button
3. Complete the dialog and initial prices
   
   For more details see GUI Create a new cost code General information
   
   
   For more details see GUI Create a new cost code Initial prices
   
   

Now assign cost codes to VM templates (see Modify a VM Template) and hardware profiles (see Hardware profiles). Then set prices for the cost codes in your pricing models. Note that you can override cost code prices by setting prices for specific hardware profiles. Pricing and billing for dynamic hardware profiles will also use prices for CPU and RAM for the datacenter.
